Disable minimum password length

I am trying to convert to a Plesk based email server. When trying to create email accounts I am getting the message "Error: Unable to set password: The password is incorrect, use at least 5 characters." How do I disable the 5 character minimum requirement for passwords? Over half of the accounts I need to create have passwords shorter than 5 characters. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
 
To anyone else running into this problem, before this Plesk bug has been fixed: Passwords for email users are stored in the "accounts" table of the "psa" mysql database. Just change the password in there and run /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mail_auth_dump to update /var/lib/plesk/mail/auth/passwd.db.
